Villains | Welcome to Season Seven of 15-Minute History

Welcome back to 15-Minute History! We are excited to be back with you, our amazing audience, each week for more walks in history’s footsteps.

History, like a haunted house, is filled with monsters. The people and events we selected for this season illustrate trends that have caused suffering and death for countless innocents. We know villains first by their words and then, if left unchecked or unchallenged, by their deeds.

History is actionable. History matters, and before we dive deep into our conversation about villains, we first want to discuss how the application of history can help us see them.

Be sure to stay close as we walk into the dark this season. We will encounter both horror and heroism. We will ask questions, challenge ideas, and see the best and worst in humanity. Only by taking this journey together can we be better on the other side.
